Conversation was great! The most interesting People hop in off the street just to come in and hang out with these guys. Very personable, empathetic (rub me down with those warm rags mmhmm) patient and thoughtful not to mention the skill and experience. Each artist genuinely cares and encourages the other. They Collaborate, ask opinions, crack jokes and enjoy spending time with new faces. Not saying my soft belly fat will ever forgive me but I couldn't be more pleased. It's healing well and the colors are amazing. LFG PS they have also infected my playlist with slow heavy metal. Love that ish the wife not so much. HA!

Hot Stuff Tattoo has a huge sign on their front door that explicitly says: "We Welcome ALL…read moreAbilities & Disabilities... EVERYONE." Unfortunately, this turns out to be performative marketing rather than store policy. I came in with three friends/family to get flash tattoos, but I was denied service because I brought my legitimate, trained service dog. I was told I could not enter or that my medical service animal had to be left in the lobby, separated from me. When questioned, the management blamed local sanitation and "DHEC." Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), federal law preempts state health department regulations regarding service dogs. Tattoo shops are clean environments, not sterile operating rooms, and service animals are legally protected to accompany their handlers in client areas. Separating a service dog from their handler or turning them away denies essential medical access. It is incredibly humiliating to be publicly turned away--taking three paying clients out the door with me--from a shop that literally posts "Welcome All Disabilities" on its entrance. If you claim to welcome people of all abilities on your front door, you need to follow federal civil rights laws inside

My tattoo barely had any ink deposits under the Saran Wrap with minimal bleeding which is rare for me. Yet after it's healed, it still looks just as bold. The scabbing was so thin- couldn't believe how perfectly he did it. Deep enough to catch ink but not so deep that it created thick scabs. Truly am blown away. Will be coming back again and again. Thanks again man!

I came across Seven Swords and when I went to their website, I was really impressed with artwork by several artists. I called the night ahead to see if 'Z' had any openings the next day, and he did. I was thrilled to walk in the next day and look through his huge portfolio of decorative designs. I picked one out that I loved, and then he worked with me to make some alterations as well. He had a great attitude and was fun to work with. I'll admit that I was cynical about going to a tattoo shop that only employs men, but the vibes were super good and inviting, and funny, and I had a great time. I absolutely love my tattoo and the price was good.

A GREAT TATTOO EXPERIENCE!…read more I came in with a friend for a walk-in. We both were able to get tattoos on an early Friday afternoon without waiting. We were assigned tattoo artists based on how their style fit what we wanted. I was tattooed by "Pickle" and it was great. He did a great job and I felt comfortable here. Staff was all very friendly, we had some conversations about Star Wars with the staff and another gal that was being tattooed at the same time as us. I'll definitely be back to get more tattoos from Pickle, I liked this shop a lot.

Amanda is amazing! I…read morerecently had my eyebrows microbladed by Amanda and the entire experience with her and Rising Sparrow Tattoo Studio have been great. I found Amanda on Instagram somehow, started following her and very quickly made an appointment to get my eyebrows done. For those of you who don't know what microblading is, it is basically having thing lines cut into your skin under/around your eyebrows and ink is rubbed into them. It is basically a sort of tattoo of extra hairs to make your eyebrows look more shaped or darker. My whole life my eyebrows have been so blonde that they're basically see-through and ever since I learned of microblading I wanted to get it done. Amanda was the perfect person to go to for this! Microblading tends to take two sessions to get the right color and texture. During our first session, Amanda took her time to draw on the right size/shape eyebrows for my face before beginning the microblading process. This took a few tries, but I was in no hurry as this is my face we're talking about. Once she found/created a shape she liked and I agreed, she got started. In many of the videos I'd watched to prepare myself for the process, the canvas (person getting tattooed) has their eyebrows numbed first, whereas Amanda did not do this. I was a bit shocked at first but she told me that the numbing cream has to sit on the skin for about 20-30 minutes before we can get started and she'd be happy to do that if I wanted. That's awesome but I chose to just get the process started without being numbed. I'll admit, the microblading does hurt a bit but not nearly as bad as a tattoo. It's just off because of the place. It actually made me sneeze a lot. The healing process is pretty much the same as a tattoo and is pretty quick and easy to take care of. During my second session, we were able to get started really quickly without a template or drawing on the design. We opted for a darker color the second time to bring the color out even more. This second session went by pretty quickly and my eyebrows look awesome. On top of all of this, Amanda is a really cool person. Really professional, clean, etc but also fun to chat with. I will definitely go back to her if I need a touch up and I suggest everyone else to go to her too!

However when coming back for second appt he canceled 45 minutes before appt. Understand life happens let it slide decided being frustrated. Mind you, I drove 4.5 hours from Greenville, NC.

Maybe if you're local to Asheville better luck to you. Just my experience.
